Features

Bright, clear images with maximum 4,300 lumens colour light output

With a 4,300 lumen maximum light output (in high mode), the VPL-EW578 delivers crisp, high-contrast presentations that can be seen clearly in bright rooms or on larger screens. There’s a choice of three brightness modes to suit any environment, from bright daylight to darkened rooms.

3LCD BrightEra™ technology

The efficient 3LCD panel system is enhanced by advanced BrightEra™ technology for impressively bright, consistent, high resolution images with excellent colour accuracy and impressive reliability.

Advanced energy-saving features

Advanced lamp technology enables a range of energy-saving features. Auto Light Dimming mode saves energy when the projector is left on without being used. Auto Picture Mode automatically adjusts light output to suit the projected scene. Touching a button on the remote mutes the picture temporarily, dramatically reducing power consumption.

Quiet operation

Auto power on

Save time and start presenting faster: the projector automatically turns on when signals are detected from a connected PC.

Quick go

Don't waste time when you're in a hurry to leave the room: turn off the projector and unplug immediately, with no lengthy waiting for cool-down.

Networked and wireless presentations

Project presentations from PC or Mac via network and wireless. Up to four users can project PC/Mac images simultaneously, while up to eight users can connect to one projector. The Projector Station for Network Presentation application for Windows/Mac is included.

Control and management from any networked PC

Projector functions and status can be managed and monitored remotely from any networked PC, using the included Projector Station for Network Control application.

Remote Control app for iOS/Android

Download the free Projector Remote app and control the projector from anywhere in the room with your handheld device, with simple easy-to-read buttons on your phone or tablet screen.

USB media viewer

Slip in a USB drive and display photos, images and graphics with no PC needed.

Supports HDBaseT

Simpler, more cost-effective installation and connectivity over long distances with digital transmission of HD
video, audio, power and networking/control signals over a single Ethernet cable.

Dual HDMI inputs

Two HDMI input terminals make it easy to connect HDMI-equipped devices like PCs and media streaming devices.

IP control sync for easy system expansion

Control signals (power on/off, input select) from a master projector can be distributed over an IP network to additional 'sub' projectors.

USB Display function for easy one-cable PC connection

Present pictures and audio* from a connected PC or Mac with a single USB cable - you don't even need to install a software driver. * There may be a time lag between video and audio. For low-latency applications it is recommended to use projector's line-in or HDMI-in connection.

Customised input naming labels

Define your own input labels like 'BD Player', 'PC' and 'Document Camera', making it easier to see on screen what devices are connected and being used.

Easy maintenance

Convenient lamp access at the rear of the projector body makes lamp swaps simpler when the projector is hanging from a ceiling mount.
